SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - Trainer Chad Brown was able to work his turf specialist Center Divider after the second renovation break at the Oklahoma training track on Saturday. A Grade 1-placed son of Giant’s Causeway, Center Divider completed an easy five furlongs in 1:03. Center Divider returned from a 10-week layoff to finish second in the Grade 1 Man o’ War on July 14.

“He worked well, and we’re probably going to take a shot and run him in the Sword Dancer,” said Brown. The trainer credited jockey Rosie Napravnik with “a great tactical race in the Man o’ War. It was a tall task because he was off a layoff and wasn’t totally cranked. We had some soft fractions in our favor, but I was proud of the way the horse held second. He had a decent race over this turf course last year in the John’s Call and showed me he handled this course well.”
The Grade 1 Sword Dancer will be decided at 1 1/2 miles on the turf here Saturday.
Best Bets
A super runner-up comeback by TRIBAL CHATTER stamps the maiden filly as the most probable winner on the card. Returning from a 10-month layoff, she finished nearly nine lengths clear of third in a highly rated maiden-40. Now meets an apparently modest cast of state-bred special-weights, and switches to turf. No problem. She was sired by all-surface stallion Tribal Rule; her dam produced California Cup Mile (turf) winner Swift Winds. Blinkers on, speed for a pressing trip, pick-six single first leg of the sequence.
